Lamberts Bromelain 1250GDU 60 Tablets are food supplement tablets containing bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple stems. Each tablet provides 500mg of bromelain with an enzyme activity of 1250 GDU (gelatin-dissolving units). Lamberts says GDU is a better guide to how active the enzyme is than its weight, so the GDU figure is the one to compare when choosing a bromelain supplement.
